the rumored villain who will antagonize Team Arrow (or what’s left of it) will be modeled after one of the best characters to come out of recent television history: Idris Elba’s Stringer Bell from HBO’s The Wire.

The new antagonist, tentatively named Anton Church (who doesn’t exist in the DC Comics database, for the moment), is described as “a ruthless crime lord” who will fill the power vacuum left by the dearly departed Damien Darhk and duplicitous Mayor Ruvé Adams. The casting description for the role called the character an “apex predator” who “cuts his way through the shadows” by taking down “the biggest threat first.”
